Meanwhile, it was Tovino Thomas's 2021 superhero film 'Minnal Murali' that pushed him further as a pan-India star . The Netflix film was well promoted and was well received by audiences across the country and even outside the country. Talking about the sequel to the film and if they plan on a theatrical release for part 2, Thomas shares, "We want to release it in theatres. It deserve a theatre release. 'Minnal Murali' deserved a theatre release, but we did not have much options back then. The circumstances were such that a 50 percent restriction was imposed and we wanted to do justice to the movie. The only option we had was Netflix. Netflix has done a tremendous job in the promotion and placing of 'Minnal Murali'. I want it to release in theatres and Netflix to have OTT rights so that both parts can be available on Netflix," he signs off.
